Build this past spring. Needed an XJ bumper for a warn 8274, no aftermarket support and I'm cheap so I decided to build one instead.

Started as 3x5x1/4in angle iron, cradle that came with 8274 and a chunk of I-beam.(I'm cheap remember)

Concept: I hate doing things twice!

Tacked up:

Off for finish weld:
Paint:
Installed:
Poser shots:

If I had to do it all over again, I would buy the proper sized steel and save myself a couple days of cutting and grinding. Still needs a stinger to guard winch and I cut the sides to match the fenders. Flame on!:tonka:

Updates, used poop pipe and HF bender at CheapthrillB2's place, then made support tubes and welded it all up. The goal was to put somthing between whatever I hit and my winch. I'm happy with it, it's not perfect but neither am I
